In a nutshell......No. 
Not if you do your bit.....3" is the difference so 8 yards @ 100mts. it equates to a pigeon shot at 25 or 33 yards...
You don't have time to calculate like the range finder using stalkers...lol

Depends. If you are shooting live quarry only, it makes sense to zero your rifle at any distance you choose and then to know what your round is doing at the sort of distances at which you are likely to encounter live quarry. Whether that is in Metres or Yards makes no difference, and will largely depend on what your rangefinder measures in (if you use one)
If you shoot targets at varying ranges it does make a difference. I use target turrets which adjust in 1/4moa clicks. Mental arithmetic is simple if I calculate range in Yards and POI shift in MOA. I know others whose scopes adjust in Mil, and they work in metres.

Asking as have shooting test for DSC1 next Sunday and have zeroed at 100yards and believe the test in in meters ?
So im best to recheck my zero in Meters !
Pick one, stick with it, and make sure all your kit works in the same units. Meters and Mils, Yards and MOA. Range finder, Turrets, Reticule and shot solution calculator (Strelok or the like) all need to work in the same units to make your life simple. Mix them up and you have a lot of calculations to do.
The round will not drop or fall in 8 yards...put the x hairs on the target and shoot it....
Over a longer distance then other factor yes but @ a 100 just whack it....
Forget the yards/mts it is just a bit of paper.
what will a round change in height Malcom over 8 yards?

When is your test? I am back down in West Sussex in early May. If you want you can nip down and use my range, with an official Level 1 Roe target. The target has a faint white circle on it, which is not easy to see. The trick is to come up the middle of the front leg and squeeze the trigger. You will be in the kill zone on the target.
You have my number, and if your course is in mid to late May, and you have time to come over, you are welcome.

It wont make a difference. But I didnt say it would did I. The OP asked if the test is in yards or meters.
Thanks Malc ... next Sunday .. but many thanks for the offer !
Ill be seeing you for a stalk in late may anyway !
Thanks Hopefully will have had some sleep by then !
it's the grouping they will be more interested in, if the shots are an inch high or low it will be fine
Then I hope his deer are in metric lol

I think the difference is something like 0.1” So I don’t think it matters a jot.
